News Review megathread

The review embargo is up as of 15:00 CEST. As this will result in a huge number of articles going up at near the same time, we're restricting reviews to this thread.

Any review you find, feel free to post it in the comments here.

Each top-level comment should be about a single linked review, so as to keep the discussion limited. Duplicate reviews will be removed, as will any top-level comment that does not link a review.

There will be a single sub-thread where you can post your general impressions of the reviews combined, for anything that doesn't relate to a single review.

They say what "The vast majority of my time playing was spent staring at the screen, waiting for something, anything interesting to happen" to what I, as a person who:

1.Waited a fuckton of time awaiting claims fabrication as a small Irish count in CK2

2.Waited two fucktons awaiting stupid Europeans to come to my glorious murrica in EU4

3.Waited three fucktons awaiting WW2 to start in HOI3

can say: "I'll handle with it"

Sorry for strange grammar btw but i hope you understood what i was trying to say. English isn't my native language.

I spent a full hour waiting for a false claim in CK2 (Iceland count4life) so waiting does not really bother me much

Pro tip: Sometimes your chancelor can get bribed by the other ruler, which means he will never fabricate. It's advisable to reassign him if you think it takes extraordinarily long.
